Melanotan-1

Melanotan-1 is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone developed to selectively target melanocortin receptor pathways involved in pigmentation signaling. It has been studied in aesthetic and photobiology research for its relationship to melanogenesis, UV-response pathways, and melanin production across controlled experimental models.

What is Melanotan-1?

Aesthetic · 10mg · 3mL

Melanotan-1 is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone developed to selectively target melanocortin receptor pathways involved in pigmentation signaling. It has been studied in aesthetic and photobiology research for its relationship to melanogenesis, UV-response pathways, and melanin production across controlled experimental models. Its linear peptide structure and receptor selectivity distinguish it from later cyclic melanocortin analogues with broader signaling profiles. Lyophilized powder, 3mL vial. Sold at 10mg per vial. For research use only.

Afamelanotide / CUV1657 / NDP-MSH. 13-residue cyclic peptide.
